对于大四学生Nolan Hines来说，选择UT Permian Basin是理所当然的。
“I looked at several schools in the state but 澳门博彩官网 offered swimming, engineering and very competitive tuition prices。”
诺兰充分利用了他在犹他大学的时间。 Spending four years on the Men’s Swimming and Diving team and entering into the engineering program。
“Being a student athlete really gave me a family to be a part of and to get involved with the community”
大多数大学生 aren’t sure what path to take but that wasn’t the case for Nolan。 他很早就知道未来会怎样。
“When I was 16 I overhauled my dad’s old truck。 我拆掉了引擎，把它拆开，重新装上所有的汽缸，然后把它装回去 that’s 我今天开的卡车。 整个过程让我大开眼界。 我想知道它是怎么运作的。 That was my defining moment when I knew I wanted to be an engineer。”
那一刻是诺兰来到二叠纪盆地的原因之一。 He’s 作为猎鹰的最后一个学期在全新的工程大楼里度过。 It’s an opportunity Nolan said he’s taking full advantage of。
“When I heard the announcement for the building I was so excited。 I am so grateful for this semester that I get to spend in it because it just shows how 澳门博彩官网 is growing and engineering is just flourishing in this part of the state。”
更重要的是，诺兰对澳门博彩官网和他所拥有的优质教育充满热情 收到了。
“I think every one of my professors knows me by my first name。 我可以去和他们中的任何一个人交谈 it’s 关于学校与否。 I’ve 和这些教授建立了很好的关系。 我称他们为朋友，并计划毕业后与他们保持联系。 I want to give back to the University in the future as well。”
Nolan表示，他已经准备好凭借澳门博彩官网机械工程学位进入劳动力市场 手。 和 希望有一天，他能找到自己梦寐以求的工作：在能源行业拥有自己的公司。
“I feel really Confident coming out of 澳门博彩官网 as an engineer。 其中一件事 是highlighted 最近工程学基础考试的通过率是100%。 That’s 难以置信! 所有参加考试的学生，我都认识。 I’m 和他们没什么不同。 I’m 上同样的课程，跟同样的教授学习。 That makes me feel confident to go take that exam, enter into the workforce and become an actual engineer。”
